    Anodize or Powder COat

    Can you get an RT Pro anodized or do you have to get it powder coated? Thanks for any help.

      the body itself is stainless steel, so it has to be powder coated.
      the rail is aluminum, and so it can be anodized

              That wasn't annodized...

              Annodizing is an oxidized layer of metal that has been dyed the desired color. That layer is created out of the base metal and cannot flake off. Sounds like the body was painted. Powder coat is an added layer and can wear but its the only option outside of paints since you cannot annodize stainless steel.
